Thermoelectric power generation, also called thermoelectric power generation, is a kind of green environmental protection. The thermoelectric power generation technology has the advantages of simple structure, strong and durable, no moving parts, no noise, long service life, etc.. Can make reasonable use of solar energy, geothermal energy, industrial waste heat and low grade energy into electricity. The research of thermoelectric power generation technology began in 1940s. Because of its significant advantages, thermoelectric power generation in aviation, military and other fields has been widely used, the United States, former Soviet Union has developed a thousands of radioisotope or nuclear reactor temperature difference generator used as empty asked, marine equipment of power supply. With the increasing depletion of fossil energy, the United States, Japan, the European Union and other developed countries pay more attention to the research of thermoelectric power generation technology in the civil field, and has made considerable progress. Research in domestic thermal power generation, mainly in electrical theory and thermoelectric materials by research, aimed at temperature hair appliances optimization and provide theoretical guidance for the preparation of thermoelectric materials with excellent properties, although China is the world largest semiconductor thermoelectric device output country, but in the temperature difference hair appliances integrated design and application research is still very lack. Therefore, the study of thermoelectric power generation has a very realistic significance. Is introduced in this paper principle of thermoelectric technology, reviews the research progress and status quo of domestic and foreign, to common commercial thermoelectric module as an example, the power generation efficiency of thermoelectric power generation in the presence of low, thermoelectricity component
